so little of the Shadow Monarch. Pathetic. Is this the host you've chosen? This human can barely grasp your true strength of what makes you the Shadow Monarch." The red dragon slithered its tongue all over Ethan's body "on a side note... who are you... a mere fox?"

Fox? ~(Ethan)

"Why have you resided with the Shadow Monarch and this human? In truth, you don't belong here... correct? That's a lie, we all don't belong here." Kamish relaxed for a moment before continuing to appeal the title of Humanity's Greatest Calamity "enough of all this... human... have you prepared for your end? I have."

Kamish stealthily controls his tail to wander around the broken wreckage of this city he destroyed, and wrapped it all over Ethan with a firm grip, pulling him to his level of height. Kamish growled viciously for a mean to feel insulted that human is standing up to him, like those dragon-wielders pestis. With Ablion's divine dividing, their chances were left with 8% of winning. Ddraig's boost, their chances rose up to 15%. Despite having two heavenly dragons standing by the humans, it still wasn't enough for the dragon to feel threatened by their strength. What truly stood in Kamish's way is this damn human insect from conquering Earth. Elms couldn't process what was happened after being flung away towards a building, creating a small hole at the side thanks to its impact and velocity.

"Golly... the dragon throws hard." Ethan smirks

"That's not the only thing you shall be impressed about."

"Wha-??"

An impressive speed surpassing Ethan's left him in shocked that with a huge body like Kamish, he is able to move at an alarming speed without slamming his brakes as a car were to skid across the road.

"Uurrkkk!!" Ethan's body pummeled through floors after floors until eventually hitting the first

Following up, the dragon wholeheartedly mimics a human throwing a hook at its opponent inside the ring, absolutely colliding with Ethan's body who he let out a yelping pain of dear agony. Kamish's fist or claw ranges about the size of a 4th story building along with its body reaching skyscraper size, the tail's length stretches about 20 miles long somehow manages to perform a hook with its body resembling an animal on four legs. Elms brain weren't functioning properly thanks to the rubble left behind of this damn building collapsed due to Kamish. It hurts. It's unparalleled to the other pains he felt, 'Descendant' sure caused pain but this is on a whole 'nother level. Does it bear the same rank as eating the Crystal? Honestly, it wages the same. Again, Kamish thought of an amusing idea to fling Ethan, so he did. Bouncing across roads, cars, Elms shifted his body to slam on the brakes. But it didn't end there as to Kamish destruction carried on, pinpointed at Ethan. Chaos ran through the metropolis area of the west coast, Rias and her peerage hardly had the time to struggle against a few dragons thanks to their proper teamwork and artifacts they collected over the course of 4 months. It was there. Victory was in their grasps and were drawing in closer as expected.

"Fffuuu..." That Gremory girl own devil aura began to change "Extinguished Star..."

Showing off her skill, the humans all over the world were amazed, including the females who loved the empowerment of a women unleashing terrifying abilities. She, along with other females, have gained fan clubs.

"Move!!" Alarmed Ethan, having reached a velocity of a bullet "gah!!"

As a coming surprise, Elms bounces across the field of rubble, hitting every single car or windows presented in his view.

"Even the buff potions aren't making any differences... Ian.... tell me what's a dragons weak point?" Elms seek for some answers

"A known weakness dragons have are their wings..."

"Throat..."

"It's underbelly thanks to it being softer that its scale body...."

"The eyes but since this dragon is capable of sensing magic, it won't make much of a difference. What other weakness...."

"The hell are you trying to do, kid?"

"Gonna... ugh! Kill it." Ethan grunted on every little movement he made

You have drank 'Mythical Recovery Potion'

"I needed your help, that's why."

Kamish, Servant for the King of Dragons

"It's scary to see an enemy highlighted red again. When was the last time I encountered such a beauty?" Ethan's heightened senses determined how many dragons are heading over to him "*sigh* war is tiring. But if I made it this far for peace, I can't stop now. Show yourselves..."

Final onslaught, shadows left and right exponentially expanded greater than a block

"Going all out?"

"It seems that way."

".... Human.... why do you have to go such length to protect this world? Abandon it, this world treated you like a stepping stone. They saw you as a peasant living amongst the riches, they tortured you for never being raised by your true parents. The world the Shadow Monarch protected weren't nothing alike to yours... so I came to correct them, to own up to their mistakes, removing their freedom they once had. Do you agree with me, Ethan Elms?"

"..... sure, my life hasn't been all magic and rainbows, but there are still humanity in them. Just gotta find the right person. What was it again? Why do I need to save humanity? To make sure humans are nothing other races should make fun of... Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, Gods, they all look down on us, we are nothing but tiny insects roaming around in their precious garden. But, one rises above them all... for he is chosen by someone... a neighboring god who stands above other gods."

"The Shadow Monarch."

"Correct. Frost, magic units.... fire..." Elms had his army fire spells towards the dragon "I'll fucking show them that a human is capable enough."

"Hmph. If that is your final answer. Prepare to die along with this humanity." Kamish widened his mouth, firing potent blasts of fireballs at Ethan

Ethan zooms at a speed faster than an average human could blink with his Shadow Soldiers following behind, Mages are providing assistance to create an opening for their king to perform an assault. The fierce march of the Shadow Army rocked the ground below. The earth shook and mighty dust storm kicked up. And soon, Ethan's soldiers entered the territory of the Giant. It happened then. The surrounding air suddenly transformed. A scream-like cry of shock exploded out from Elm's mouth. The Dragon had disappeared from his view, and when it reappeared, already half of his Shadow Soldiers had been annihilated.

Sliding tackle!? ~(Ethan)

There was no other fitting term to describe Kamish sweeping away his soldiers with its stretched leg other than a 'sliding tackle'. It was an unfathomable destructive power. With that single attack, a huge entity that was the Shadow Army got split in half. Of course, his soldiers weren't simply standing back to get massacred out there, either. Even before the dust kicked up from the Dragon's foot had settled down, Yajuu finished gigantifying himself and stood before the monster's face. He then sucked in a deep, deep breath as his chest expanded greatly. A nonsensically massive pillar of flames erupted out from his mouth. Kamish followed along with the Shadow beast, firing his own fiery breath. Ethan could sense Yajuu getting astonished by what was happening. While still in the lowered position, the Giant snatched up the ankle of a Giant Shadow Soldier in the vicinity. His dragon soldier, as big as a regular building, resembled a small child after it got caught by the hand of the dragon. And this creature threw the Giant soldier straight at Yajuu. He was about to suck in another breath for his second attack, but he was struck down by the flying soldier before he could and got disintegrated. Ethan's eyes narrowed to a slit like a blade as he witnessed Yajuu get scattered away in black smoke. It proceeded from that point on - over 8,000 against one. The proper battle between his Shadow Soldiers and Kamish truly began. No - this was a far too one-sided display of violence to be called a battle. Shadow Soldiers were crushed constantly and endlessly by the Dragon's attacks. A punch, a slap, a fire ball, a headbutt, the back of the foot, and it's tail - one movement from Kamish, and dozens of soldiers were swept away. Kamish's flashy movements easily exceeded that of the high-class devil. Daiki watched the knight army being trampled on and was about to dash forward, but Ethan raised his arm and stopped him.

"Patience."

Daiki took a step back. Both him and Kaisel standing next to Elms and waiting for his orders displayed visible hints of wanting to join the battle.

Forgive me, soldiers ~(Ethan)

Ethan's lips were shut tight in a straight line. The soldiers repeatedly went through destruction and revival, resulting in his MP decreasing at an alarming rate. In fact, the rate was so severe that even the mythical mana potions wouldn't be able to keep up.

"Pathetic. I expected more from you, Shadow Monarch. Instead, you let your soldiers do all the work for you. You'll get rusty if that happens too often." Kamish finally spoke in its tongue

Kamish crushed Shadow Soldiers with its knee, and proceeded to punch the ground with its fist. The ground shook as if there was an earthquake breaking out and dozens of soldiers disappeared in black smoke. It was a nightmarish battle situation created by the perfect defence and the horrifying destructive power of the monster. Once his mana reached 0, Kamish advances on the defenseless leader with its wings flapping slowly but the speed is yet abnormal. For a body that big, it can move faster than a Satan. The eyes of the dragon shifted to its side.

"Manners maketh man. You... child... are incoherent to the situation. You're laid back during battles and sought to your servants." Kamish whips his tail right onto Ethan's stomach, loosening his grip on his swords "very dependable on your soldiers rather than yourself. You seek to get stronger, you vow on vengeance on the creator of this world... in fact... the creator of this world is incomprehensible to the creator of mine... for he is name: 'The Absolute Being'. God is just god. The Absolute Being... knows to mark a symbolic moment to them... he's the person everyone should fear the most, even everyone's God."

Kamish notices a flashing light to its side, Ethan's swords.

"Take this for an example..." Kamish impaled the Hunter with his own weapon, precisely aiming for the stomach "the weapon entrusted to the most by its user, has suddenly bitten the hands that feeds. What will happen to the owner? He or she could take it out and suffer from blood missing, or leave it impaled as a reminder that even though the thing you trust the most has backstabbed you... leaving your death intolerable and painful."

"Fuuuuckkk!! Gaaahhh!!" Elms yelped out of pain when Elle stabbed his stomach "Elle! It's not your fault!!"

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Hurts like a bitch!! ~(Ethan)

"Master, you mustn't never pull or summon me! You'll die if you do!"

"But.... humanity - gyyyaaaahhhhh!!!" Ethan pulled it out. Pretty sure he damaged some organs while doing so "Kamish... I'll...."

Again. This time aimed differently. Rather than the stomach, it impaled Ethan's left hand, sticking him to a wall as he bleed.

"Ian.... shit! You really have a thing for impaling enemies, don't you?!"

"Oh, please. It's a hobby if mine... goodbye, Shadow Monarch. I expected more out of you."

They watched as Ethan was sent flying by Kamishs' large palm and slam into a wall. The human was in danger. The human was in danger. The human was in danger! He can't get a single breather between onslaughts, the dragon brutally injures the lonely Hunter. All the others were too busy handling dragons or were killed. Some averted their eyes, some watched in horror and couldn't do anything else, some lost hope in the man. But... why does he still stand up while carrying life threatening injuries all over his body? What is there for this Hunter to continue challenging Humanity's greatest Calamity? Issei struggles against a few dragons alone, Vali and his group had multiple dragons on them, Rias and her brother, Xenovia, all the 'Hunters'. No one had time to help Ethan.

"Enough! Enough with this struggle! Why do you desire to protect this world?! Is there a promise you made?!" Kamish shouted "stay down, and never walk again!"

"...... I.... just want..... to protect humanity....." Ethan limps through rubble, missing an eye, and having trouble seeing caused by his blood "is..... that enough?"

"Fine! Fucking die, you failure of a host!!"

Oh shit. Is this the end of the road for me? Too damn early ~(Ethan)

Sorry.... master..... we were weak ~(Ian)

Nah... It was i who was weak...... Ian... Elle... Thanks ~(Ethan)

And thank you, master. We loved every moment we spent with you..... ~(Ian & Elle)

And thank you, my soldiers. Sorry for failing you guys ~(Ethan)

"Eeeeettthhaaannn!!"

She ably dodged an attack from the dragon and took aim at the centre of the dragon before screeching out with her magical energy.

Mana: 23

"Go..." Ethan supported the mana recovery by drinking mana potions "exchange."

The two safely returned to a safe spot that his Shadow spotted in case of emergency, Ethan called off his shadows and have them return to his. A safe haven to relax and breathe normally again whether it be a minute or not.

"Why..... how'd you find me?" Elms had the energy to speak "Akeno...?"

"I.... my senses picked up a familiar one, and seeing how you were confronting the dragon all alone."

"Huh. Ironic." Ethan kept his sentences short before opening his wounds deeper "I protect you, you protect me."

"Well... I learned from the best." She said, healing Ethan's wounds "I have something to say..."

"Hm?"

"I'm sorry."

"Oh. Apology accepted."

"No..."

Ah shit ~(Ethan)

Hehehe. Fucking loser ~(Ian)

"I'm sorry if you were keeping your emotions buried inside of you, I should have noticed when they were overwhelming you. I don't know if it was that I couldn't see how much pain you were in or simply that I had gotten used to seeing you carrying so much on your own that I was waiting for you to tell me that there was something wrong. I'm sorry I made you feel like you couldn't talk to me about what was bothering you." She cried into the shirt and breathed in Ethan's scent "I really am a terrible person. How could I not have noticed your feelings before you were overcome with them? I wanted to believe it was just a crush since I had helped you so much with trauma and you'd come back on your own after cooling down. I kept thinking that with time it would pass and you see that you could be with any girl you wanted without having to rely on me, but I didn't even acknowledge that at all and stayed quiet, I was too afraid to lose you. Was I really that happy having this attention all to myself that I wanted it for as long as I could?"

She curled up with his shirt. For all her flirting and teasing with Issei, Akeno realized how inexperienced she really was.

"Please, Ethan.... give me one more chance. I promise I'll do things right this time... I can't forget my feelings for Issei or ignore him, but if you come back to me, I promise I'll figure something out. I know that scum like me doesn't deserve someone as amazing as you, but please.... Just one more chance, that's all I ask."

".... I'm sorry too."

"What are you sorry abo-"

"Sorry for coming in between you and Issei. What I did turned you to a person addicted to apologizing me. I bet you had to break Issei's heart just to confess everything you just said... I'm a terrible person as well, but I at least am not a hypocrite when it comes to expressing love." Ethan gently pushed Akeno off of him "Issei wholeheartedly never deserve any of this..."

"No, no, no. Ethan! This is all my fault! Not yours!"

"I wish it wasn't yours. So please... return to loving Issei and not me. It's the least you can do on apologizing me.... goodbye, Akeno. Let's pretend we never met - no.... forget about me." Ethan had to do it. He had to cut off all ties involving with Akeno, he deeply regrets this decision... but it's just as that thing said: 'From now on you have to kill more people, and sacrifice or leave a lot of people behind. Including friends or family'

This is for the best ~(Ethan)

".... Ethan, no! Please don't leave me! I can't be alone without you! Don't go, I need you!!"

Would you like to remove Akeno's memories
Of you?
Y/N

Yes ~(Ethan)

Extracting memories, please wait...
Please wait....

Extraction completed! Akeno Himejima no longer
Carries memories of Ethan Elms

Thank you, Ethan

A bright light of blue suddenly beamed out of Akeno, slowly removing memories that she and Ethan had made together since Issei joined ORC. What they did should be considered protected by both parties. But Ethan made a decision that can possibly destroy one from inside, emotionally. Akeno loves Issei, not him. Issei loves Akeno. Akeno..... can finally be happy. Sacrifice is a personal choice, one that needs balance and soulful reflection. When we take love as our supreme first principle the right path becomes apparent. He almost started crying. That exact emotion that possibly died out came back for one last minute before dissipating again.

"Shit.... I'm sorry, my beautiful princess... I hope you live happily ever after with your future children's." Ethan positioned Akeno as if she were sleeping "Raynare.... Delilah.... Akeno..... I'm losing everyone, aren't I?"

"It's for the
